The Department of Children has said the report on the Kyran Durnin case is currently being finalised and will be published soon, as the department rejected criticism by the Ombudsman for Children.

On Thursday night, the Ombudsman, Niall Muldoon, criticised the government and Tusla for referring the case of the boy missing, presumed dead, in Dublin to the National Review Panel.
